LaLa Anthony has always done a good job at making sure she isn’t in her NBA hubby Carmelo Anthony’s shadow, and she’s managed to get her own reality show and create multiple successful business ventures proving that she can still be her own woman despite her high-profile marriage. However, the couple became the target of the gossip mill when whispers suggested their marriage was on the rocks several months ago, but Carmelo and LaLa managed to overcome their rough patch so much so that she felt confident enough to pen a book that gives women relationship advice.
Although LaLa does seem to have it all together, that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been rumors surrounding whether or not her hubby’s being a faithful spouse or a typical professional athlete and possibly entertaining other women he really shouldn’t. Interestingly enough, LaLa says she refuses to worry about whether or not Carmelo has been faithful because she feels it’s important for her to be secure with her marriage. She says on the Bethenny Show recently:
“I’m just very secure in myself. I can’t worry about what’s happening on the road. I know our relationship. I know we have a great relationship. He’s my best friend and that’s what I put my energy on. If we think too much about what’s going on when we are not there and checking phones and cracking email codes, that will drive a woman crazy. You have to be secure in yourself and hope that’s the best.
“Sometimes I go on the road. I work so much that I am just not able to pick up and go on the road but if he is going to a fun place, Chicago, Miami somewhere that I want to visit, yeah I’ll jump on the road and hang out.”
Does LaLa make a good point about women driving themselves crazy by worrying about if their man is being faithful or not? Check out the clip below and leave your thoughts in the comment section.
I completely agree with her. I really feel like if a woman has to check up behind a man to see if he’s being faithful, he’s not the man for her. When I was single my mentality was If I can’t feel confident about you being loyal, I can’t be with you. Life’s too short to be unhappy and insecure. It pays to be with the man you can trust over the one you’re always second guessing.
Amen. I learned the hard way and promised myself never again will I allow someone to make me do something like that again. It’s hard out here. lol
I know but stay patient!
She makes a lot of sense. I still think Carmelo be creeping tho…
She’s right. A woman will go crazy trying to make something work with a man she doesn’t trust. But I could have swore she said in another interview she would cut Carmelo’s balls off if he cheated. My thing with LaLa is she doesn’t seem genuine and changes up too much. But so does her bff Kim Kardashian.
I’m riding with LaLa on this one. I’m not with that checking phones and email mess. If you’re cheating I will find out anyway because that’s how karma works.
Cosign. What’s done in the dark always comes to light.
Man F that I am checking your phone and Facebook Twitter whatever! I need to know if I’m wasting my time. I know that is not politically correct to say but it’s the truth.
You’ll never have peace that way or real happiness because a good man won’t be happy that you don’t trust him. It’s not worth it.
I don’t do that detective stuff either. I need my sanity. And plus men don’t know how to keep secrets for long anyway. They always get caught eventually because we’re better liars than them. LOL.
I agree with Lala and take it from someone who has snooped a couple of times it’s not worth it because if your significant other is doing dirt it will eventually surface. TGIF!! I hope everybody enjoys their weekend love y’all 🙂
Have a great weekend hon! Love ya!
Happy Friday love!
Happy Friday people.
I agree, happy Friday 🙂
I’ve snooped before and it felt so weird! I haven’t done it again. But it’s just hard to trust men sometimes because it just seems like most of them cheat! I’m just being patient and waiting for God to send me the right person. It’s hard some days because everyone wants to be happy. But I’ll stay patient!
I’m so tired of being single…smh
🙁
Girl I snooped one time when I was like 18 and thought I was in love but it’s like I could feel something isn’t right and what I found just reaffirmed what I was feeling. I truly understand where you coming from when it comes to trusting men because most cheat and nowadays women have to worry about men being on the DL. I haven’t been in a relationship in like 2 years and I’m not looking I just feel like when it happens it happens I’m so focused on my money right now. But be patient sweetie he is coming and he will be all you wanted and imagined because you are sweetheart that is just a little obsessed with Nicki Minaj lol
*hugs*
Off topic but UB you got to bring back the relationship/sex discussions. A lot of us need a place to vent. For real. LOL.
Agreed!!! I miss those.
I agree. We need that back ASAP. Or a forum on here. That would be cool.
Ha I remember those. Yeah we need that back. Sometimes we just need to talk about some life related stuff. And outside of Rihanna and Kim K. posts (lol) I think we can have some civil discussions.
Aww man I wasn’t around when they had those discussions yea I would really like that.
I wasn’t around for that either. Im going to find the email and ask them to bring it back. We really do need a forum to talk about general stuff on here.
Man this is the only blog I can go to where people don’t cuss each other out so it would be nice if they brought that back. Yeah email them Jamaica.
LaLa spoke the truth! It’s not worth it to snoop. If someone cheats, they will get caught eventually and you don’t have to look for it.
She was on point with this. If you can’t trust someone then why even be with them?
I agree with La La.
